daily post 7

May 16, 2008

these are the beautiful faces of down syndrome.

these are the faces that smiled so big it warmed me from the inside out. these faces are the reason that i am a photographer…to capture real human emotion. emotion that is so innocent and pure, i wanted to hug each and every one of them (and i did get some fabulous hugs).

i feel lucky and blessed to be involved with the down syndrome support group for a calendar project. i was only a part of these kids lives for a short while, but it was enough to melt my little heart.
